'Everyone in my family's got the I-can't-do-anything-for-myself-I'm-dying-lurgy. I am now a slave. "Oh Alistair, make me soup. Oh Alistair, wipe my nose . . ." They will be sorry when I take my revenge!
But first I have to sort out Mrs Muttley. I've told her I can't take any more piano lessons as my fingers have fallen off but she won't believe me! Then there's the canary suit Mum wants me to wear on my hot date - that's got to go. Luckily I can count on the support of the Revengers - my only friends. We'll invoke the spirits of the dead and scare the willies off the rest of them!'
Alistair is fed up at being treated like a slave while the rest of the family is ill. Not even lacing his brother and
sister's medicine with washing-up liquid gets him off nursing duties! He's still busy trying to hatch the perfect plot for revenge when they're all dragged off to Ireland for a family funeral. Soon, Alistair's plans are full of spooks, spirits and bones. But his brother and sister have similar ideas.
In lively and accessible diary form, this is a story of family life at its funniest, packed with schoolboy humour. This is the second book in a brilliant and hilarious series by award-winning comic writer, Jamie Rix. Young Corgi books are perfect for building reading confidence.
